It seems so tough. Man I mean I grind at both..through years of getting my head bashed in at both Ive learned to stay focused and calm. Both games seem to take so much time and energy to stay in the black

Both you lose everything you have
Poker a dead loser game all random luck
Sports slow death
Only bet money you can afford to lose because your ending is lossComment -
are we talking about online poker? If so then i'd say online poker is tougher because of software design to make you tilt and RIVER RAT!Comment -
On the other hand, you can get good at sports betting & money management. Just dnt get "tilt"Comment -
most people have no control too
We never talk about thatComment -
poker is harder because you have to change your play each time you move up in stakes
if you move up in sports bets, nothing changes
When your poker table buyin and sports bets get over $25, thats when you move to sportsComment -

Poker is a SKILL GAME, easier because you are in control to an extent
Sports betting harder because you are betting on other people's actions and half of them are on the take.Comment -
only a skill game if players people play game rightOriginally posted by stevek173
When lots of punks play it becomes random it is why bracelet winners new people all the time
Years ago only pros played tourneys so of course good players won and fields much smaller
Bigger fields more random
Sports Betting if you want to compare a pro vs poker .........the sports player will always do better
Let me educate you all almost every guy that cleaned up during poker craze are now broke
the few that made it was from advertising money than wins
Game OverComment -
I thought we were talking about online poker. Real life poker is a completely another topic; ONLY a skilled poker player can win in real life (with or without luck). Ive played a lot of real life poker games. Sport betting you need luck because its not YOU who is actually playing. I can beat most of you in real life poker

Both are difficult. The theory of dimensioning return.
In the end you will go broke.Comment -
Quit your jobs!!Comment -
without an end goal both will bleed you dryComment -
Sports betting is harder because it involves predicting the future and has far more firepower thrown at it than poker. Poker is just risk assessment.Comment -
Poker is harder
sports you have 50-50 shot even if you don't have a clueComment -

I cashed back to back to back in 3 consecutive Wsop circuit tournaments. I can’t win 3 bets in a row to save my life lolComment -
You have a 1% shot at best.Originally posted by HmanComment -
I guess it could be said that for a truly sharp player at both, sports betting is actually easier because poker has a top. If you play equal players, you cannot win. It is easier to reach the top at poker than sports betting which makes beating the field harder.
In sports betting, a person with an edge cannot lose over time.
That is only because the outcome of the game of poker is certain over time.Comment -
Sports betting was tougher 15 years ago.
Now poker is and it’s not even close.Comment -
I guess the best way to think about it is if you play the Watson computer at poker, you will lose. Online poker is probably fairly close to the Watson computer.
If you have skilled sports bettors play the Watson computer, they will melt it down.Comment -
I've beaten the Watson computer in poker before and I sure as heck can do it again.Originally posted by Roger T. BannonComment -
Poker been dead for 10+ years broComment -
You can do it once because of randomness. If you play it forever, you will run out of money.Originally posted by stevek173Comment -
i make more money than most playing full time poker.Originally posted by jjgold
most of my associates that play poker or are in the industry have very deep wallets.
i have a hunch that profitable people stick together, and fish stick together.
we can only conclude that you are a fish xDComment -
I've supported myself with both and sports betting is definitely harder. There are fewer soft spots in sports and if you win you get limited or shown the door. In poker you don't even have to be that good to make money. All you have to do is find soft games and put in the hours.Comment -
what world do you live in lmaoOriginally posted by johnnyvegas13Comment -

In poker it is easier to pick your pool. In sports betting, you are thrown in with the sharks and have to start swimming.Comment -
I own the shit out of Watson. Any game, anytime, any place.Comment -
Depends on who's sitting at the table.
I suppose.Comment -
Ian gets it.Originally posted by IanComment -
poker is awful
so boring
most "decisions" are not even really decisions just doing basic math
sports betting is boring but at least it's something to watch on tvComment -
Sports is harder to win, but has more upside because it only gets a little harder when you raises the stakes where poker gets way harder.Comment -
Losing poker players are always saying how bad it is. Winning players like Ian and I with a skill edge over the competition love it.
Go figure.Comment
